Stop SELinux from blocking flash using iced-tea firefox plugin
If you see this message when firefox tries to load flash content:
- SELinux is preventing the npviewer.bin from using potentially mislabeled files (/home/admica/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer).
| Source Context: | unconfined_u:unconfined_r:nsplugin_t:s0 |
| Target Context: | unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 |
| Target Objects: | /home/admica/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer |
| Source: | npviewer.bin |
| Source Path: | /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.binPort:<Unknown> |
| Host: | somehost |
| Source RPM Packages: | nspluginwrapper-1.1.2-4.fc10 |
| Policy RPM: | selinux-policy-3.5.13-26.fc10 |
| Selinux Enabled: | True |
| Policy Type: | targetedMLS |
| Enabled: | True |
| Enforcing Mode: | Enforcing |
| Plugin Name: | home_tmp_bad_labels |
Then do this: (replace with your home dir)
$ restorecon -v ‘/home/admica/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer’
restorecon reset /home/admica/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0->system_u:object_r:nsplugin_home_t:s0
and you should get that response and it should work the next time you try as long as you’ve got the right plugin association and the file you’re trying to load really is flash!
